Formal / religious sound. c.f. Watership Down creation myth:

He gave out that he would hold a great meeting and that at that meeting he would give a present to every animal and bird, to make each one different from the rest.

Also 'archaic'. See quote from American magazine of 1905.

"... opposed the secession movement, he gave out that he would never take arms against his own people"

Also 1958 American magazine.

"He gave out that he would come to my headquarters near Portsmouth and investigate the matter with my staff."
